Ok, I've given Lexapro 20mg 9 weeks now and still not great.

I did well on Zoloft for over 20 years. When it stopped working, I switched to Lexapro. Tried that for several months, even went up to 30mg. Tried Prozac after about 7 months on Lexapro. That was a disaster, so went back to Lexapro. Now it's been 9 weeks on 20mg Lexapro and I still have anxiety and some agoraphobia. I am switching to a new psychiatrist after my current one asked me what I would want to wean off Xanax (are you kidding me? Why?!?).

Anyway, my question to you guys is, has anyone else had success going back on a medication that stopped working after some time off of it? Or, do you have any medications you have tried that work well for anxiety/panic?

Just FYI, I am doing therapy. I am trying to push myself, and I have already cut my xanax down 3 times so far.

I just don't think the Lex is effective enough for me. I feel somewhat better, but surely 9 weeks should be long enough.

Just looking for recommendations or experience...suggestions to talk over with my new psychiatrist. Thank you for your help.

Did you find one that did?

By the time I have my appointment it will be almost 12 weeks so that should be a fair shot, but I was on it before when I tried prozac because I didn't feel it was doing enough.

I forgot to mention it, but I am also on mirtazapine.

I guess we will just see what the new doc suggests.

yes overthinker I did find a ssri that worked. celexa been on it 1 yearand doing well
